October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and just like every year, Howard Alan Events is saying “yes” to spreading awareness about this terrible disease. Participating artists are creating amazing pieces inspired by the cause with proceeds going to cancer research and visitors are encouraged to join in and wear their favorite pink gear in support. Our social media family is spreading the word about Pinktober!

Spoonbill by Dennis Goodman

This weekend, at the 27th Annual Cadillac Las Olas Art Fair, we’re partnering with Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa as part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A portion of proceeds from sales of breast cancer awareness-inspired items will be donated toward the work that this incredible facility is doing. As the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer care center in Florida, Moffitt works tirelessly to be a resource of cancer education, research and treatment in Florida and beyond. So, when you buy art from any participating artist with breast cancer awareness-inspired items at the show, you’ll know that you’re contributing to a great cause.

There will be many artists on site at the 27th Annual Cadillac Las Olas Art Fair this Saturday and Sunday who will be supporting breast cancer awareness this month, and many have created some beautiful pieces. Here are some names to get you started:
